"Great Value"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5

I rented 2 front row umbrellas. This beach club is much more affordable than other options in Positano and worth the money. It is not located on the main beach and had much less tourists when we went. The beach was clean. Food and drinks were priced appropriately for a beach club. They had clean bathrooms and changing rooms. I am unsure if they provided towels as we brought our own.

After reading lots of reviews for local beach clubs, we purchased lounge chairs/umbrellas at Da Ferdinando’s beach club. Towels cost 5 euros each. The beach is great and the water is amazing. The food and drinks were delicious. My husband and I traveled with our daughters and their boyfriends and we all loved this place. Would definitely come back if we return to Positano.

First off, because we were guests at the neighboring Hotel Pupetto and Lido, let me state this review is purely based on the beachside ristorante and has nothing to do with the lido/beach chair operation. Having enjoyed a similar seaside patio lunch environment all over Europe, I would stack this place up with any of the best. A team of “beach boy” servers ranging from 18 to 60 years of age wearing Da Ferdinando tshirts and tanks serving up cold European Pilsners and surprisnhly excellent dishes. I had seen on a vlog that they serve the regional favorite Spaghetti alla Nerano and was looking forward to my maiden experience with the dish. Imagine my disappointment when it wasn’t on the seasonal menu. Also imagine my excitement when after sharing that disappointment with one of the senior servers he talked to the chef who said he would be happy to prepare some! The hype surrounding the dish created by Stanley Tucci’s travel series was actually understated. It was without question one of THE BEST pasta dishes I have ever enjoyed in all my travels to and living in Italy for more than three years. We sampled the dish several other times during our visit to the Amalfi Coast and while ALL were good, this one was the best. Come for the music and vibe. Stay for the Nerano!

Awful location, awful customer service and horribly sardine packed lido. Avoid. Not worth the hike there. The location is packed with people on top of each other, the staff is simply rude and not reasonable. Avoid!!!!!!!!

"Raking in the $$ with unprofessional practices."

Reviewed June 24, 2024
Rented and paid for 2 umbrellas (4 chairs). There were 3 of us and a chair to use for our things. They rented the 4th chair (we paid for) and wouldn’t budge when I told them I PAID for the 4th chair. Sounds like they are taking advantage of those that come in odd numbers. Unprofessional.
